Here’s an easy, hearty Crock-Pot Steak and Potatoes recipe that’s hands-off but full of flavor.
🥩 Crock-Pot Steak and Potatoes
🛒 Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 1½–2 lbs beef steak (sirloin, chuck, or rump), cut into 2-inch cubes or strips
- 4–5 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp dried thyme or rosemary
- Salt & pepper
- 2 tbsp oil (optional, for browning)
🔥 Instructions
1️⃣ Optional: Brown the steak
- Heat oil in a skillet and sear steak cubes 2–3 min per side. Adds depth of flavor but isn’t required.
2️⃣ Layer in Crock-Pot
- Place potatoes and onions at the bottom.
- Add steak on top.
- Sprinkle garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce.
3️⃣ Cook
- LOW: 6–8 hours
- HIGH: 3–4 hours
- Steak should be tender, potatoes soft but not falling apart.
4️⃣ Finish & Serve
- Optional: stir in frozen peas or carrots in last 30 min for color and sweetness.
- Serve directly from the Crock-Pot for easy cleanup.
🌿 Tips
- For extra flavor, add 1 tsp smoked paprika or a splash of soy sauce.
- Use Yukon Gold potatoes for a creamier texture or red potatoes for more bite.
- Thickening option: remove ½ cup cooking liquid, whisk with 1 tbsp cornstarch, then stir back in to make a gravy.
